Greetings Francisco,
ReplyDeleteI feel that this set of five opportunities is a good spread of issues that are going on right now. Especially with the government shut down. I do feel that you could have taken some more time to better explain your own personal points on what the opportunity was and why those particular people benefit form it though, it was a great addition to add the links to the actual articles though. I also think that your post was really straight forward.
